...Argentina's Andean resort of San Carlos de Bariloche, snow came late this year, but when it finally fell, it was a skier's dream-3-ft. base. 2 in. of powder, and fresh snow at night to top it off. Last week the biggest crowds in history were strapping skis together in Buenos Aires and bracing themselves for a clattery two days on the train or six hours on a plane for their share of Christies. In Bolivia, young skiers jammed into the two lodges at the three-mile-high Chacaltaya ski area. But nowhere...
...Chilean towns, from Farellones to Villarrica, share the boom. Yet the new look of the mountains is most exciting at Portillo, the big resort built by the government in 1947 and then almost written off as a total failure. The idea was to provide a setting like something out of an old Sonja Henie film.

Sheraton Hotels took over four splendid Waikiki Beach hotels, including the Royal Hawaiian and Moana, and made them pay. The venerable Bank of Hawaii brought in a new president from California, Rudy Peterson, and Peterson...
After three months of seclusion in India's hill resort of Mussoorie, Tibet's self-exiled Dalai Lama, 24, broke his routine to witness a spectacle that strongly reminded him of his own people's bondage under the Red Chinese invaders. The attraction: The Ten Commandments, one of the late Cecil B. DeMille's last epics, his twice-filmed tale of Moses' struggle against Egyptian terror and tyranny. The movie won a rave notice from the God-King: "I liked it very much. I was greatly moved...
